The French, Spanish And The Double Dutch comic poem 368 by Angela Lansbury

 

It's amazing how well the French all speak French

And the Dutch they all speak Dutch

I speak a word or two, si, oui, ja

But so far not very much

I speak English, as you can see

But if I spoke French I wouldn't be me

If I try I shall soon speak both fluently

Will I still be me, we shall see..

Si, si, we shall all see

When we speak Spanish perfectly

If you are in Spain

And you want a wee

Just look for two letters

Double you and see.
